The Congress 2016

Why You Should Go: The Congress is a Virginia-based four-piece that puts on a riveting live show made up of equal parts Rock & Roll, old-school Soul, and outlaw country. Founded by Scott Lane and Jonathan Meadows, the band falls under the influence of the diverse music of their hometown of Richmond, where the spirit of Soul music prevails with infusions of Jazz, Punk-Rock, and Appalachia. The Congress had been living in Denver, Colorado for several years but moved back to Richmond in late 2015 and is touring on the East Coast and readying the release of a new LP. Lucky for us, The Congress return to their old stomping grounds at The Bluebird Theater this Friday supported by Megan Burtt and Patrick Dethlefs making this a night of must see music!

Nate Todd was born on the central plains of Nebraska, but grew up on the high plains of the Texas panhandle. With not much to do in either place, music was his constant companion. His parents dubbed the first two albums he ever owned onto a tape for him. Side A was Bert and Ernie’s Sing Along. Side B was Sgt. Peppers. His lifelong love affair with music started early as he practically grew up in a Rock & Roll band, with his father and uncle often taking him out on the road or into the studio with them. Nate began performing live at sixteen and hasn’t looked back, having played in numerous bands from L.A. to Austin. At the age of twenty he was bitten by the writing bug, and upon moving to Denver decided to pursue a degree from Metropolitan State University where he recently graduated with a B.A. in English and a minor in Cinema Studies.
